So, are you a runner? Are you on Twitter?
Do you know a runner.... on Twitter?
One of the cool things I have found on Twitter (Follow me) is the community of runners I have found so far. I have searched and found some, and then found some that they were following, etc, etc. But I would like to build that group a little more for both inspiration and motivation.
I know I have not been able to bring much to the conversations on Twitter concerning running, but I promise to be more of a community runner.... once I can start running again.
If you are a runner please respond with your twitter address so others can follow you. If you know of any runners that twitter, why not give them a boost of followers as well by listing their address.
To make it even more fun and see how much we can get this to grow, when you follow someone you have found here, let them know where you found them.

we're already hooked up on twitter, but thought I'd comment and leave it to say HI to others.
Take it easy,
Andrew

Hello again, Tim,
My twitters aren't always running-related (I've got 5 blogs, of which one is about running! ;-)), but I do twitter often about running. My handle is "cyberpenguin." Big surprise. ;-) Of course you & Andrew are two of the runners I follow! ;-)

I'm @hellasound on Twitter.
BUT, we also have a little Twitter app for Hella Sound--the Twitter username is @GoRun, and it allows you to direct message your tweets to www.HellaSound/GoRun. Share your workouts, your races, links to resources and blog posts--go nuts. You can also comment on anyone's Tweets as if they were blog posts.
I know folks sometimes post questions or look for feedback from other runners on there, so it's a good place to share your expertise.
Great topic (AGAIN) Tim! Good stuff!

Great idea Tim! To me, running is about inclusion and sharing the love of the sport to others. I have yet to meet a self centered runner.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the email! BTW, I see why the link dead-ended: If you follow the Runner's Circle link & then remove the slash from the URL & reload the page, the link works! ;-) Here's the correct link. Please excuse the typo!

I don't tweet about running very often but that'll change as we get closer to Boston and I finish each long run with a list of ways I considered removing my legs.

Typically post a tweet or two about my daily run/workout and the rest is mostly life/technology interests.
Don't know why I haven't seen this until now. I will be adding a bunch of runners to follow on Twitter. Follow me at http://twitter.com/janmande and at http://www.dailymile.com/people/janmande

hi
I'm runnrgrl on twitter and i write http://runnrgrrl.blogspot.com.
I'm from Waterloo, Ontario Canada and have been running for 2.5 years.
While I usually post to Twitter via www.dailymile.com, I'm iphwin. 99% of my tweets are from there but I might post other stuff randomly.
Ach, I wish I'd found this thread while I was training for the New York City Marathon this past summer (ran a 2:48:00 for my first marathon - even got the "fastest CEO" notable in New York Runner Magazine :-)). Right after New York, I went to the doctor, got my low abdominal pain diagnosed as a hernia, had the surgery, and now have to wait until March before I can run again. So not many running-related tweets until I can start training again, but I tweet at http://twitter.com/adamengst (mostly Apple- and cooking-related topics when I can't run).
cheers... -Adam
